Happy Tenth Birthday to Google AdSense

June 19, 2013 by Shawn Collins

Wow. Google launched AdSense ten years ago.

Google AdSense turns 10 years old

Since then AdSense has become a core part of Google’s advertising business. There are currently over two million AdSense publishers, and last year publishers earned over $7 billion from AdSense.

Impressive numbers. I remember when AdSense launched I saw it as a mortal threat to affiliate marketing.

But over the years I’d say AdSense has been complimentary to affiliate marketing. I see the best performance on my sites when I use relevant affiliate text links in content, but AdSense works better than banners for me.
